    We've got that stupid barrier in the car park but if you're an away fan who says they want food they send you round to the east stand - genius 🤦‍♂️

    Hope this isn't embarrassing, could do without giving other clubs ammunition to take the piss.

    UEFA EURO 2024

    Why do I subject myself to this. So boring to watch. How the fuck are AliExpress official Euro sponsors. Are the kits being supplied by DH Gate?

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Isn't the idea that people who want to move, ie: existing season ticket holders, get first dibs on any released seats? Not sure why so many people are moving anyway, we normally have people kicking off if they're forced to move, now there seems to be hundreds of people moving around. Does this...

    think you could say that for other parts of the system as well. Certainly the police who spend a lot of time and money dealing with people with addiction, mental health issues etc that should be covered by other services that either can't cope with the numbers or simply don't exist anymore.

    Don't think it's a case of below their skill level, more that they have to be ready for everything at the drop of a hat. From a very quick google A&E consultants are on around double what GPs earn. There's also far more infrastructure to maintain and operate. In A&E I saw 3 consultants, god...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On one of my 3 recent trips to A&E I spent pretty much all night sat with the nurses as there were no beds / cubicles and I needed my obs done every hour. From what they were saying there are several issues. A huge increase in people turning up with things they can't identify and struggle to...

    Cricket 2024

    West Indies crowds have been dire for a while now. The powers that be spend more time falling out with each than concentrating on running the game They seem to be reliant on visiting fans but not sure how that will work out for a pretty long tournament like this

    The service is far too fragmented with different private companies running different parts and not really being concerned with the overall care of the patient. When my Dad started getting ill we were passed from department to department, all run by different companies. All they were concerned...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    From my experience with my Dad being in hospital for an extended amount of time (which brings us to another issue of hospitals being full of people waiting to be discharged to care which doesn't exist because we've essentially privatised care and the profit lies with non-complex cases so nobody...

    Now I wonder who benefits from the huge profits those agencies make :unsure:

    Did Sunak really announce a plan to save the NHS that is 100 extra GP surgeries and pushing more work on to pharmacies. I actually agree with pushing more to pharmacies in theory but as with everything what they've done already is not being properly funded and there's been reports that...

    From the experience of my ex-wifes department it's definitely not all staff leaving for more money, but if it is then the obvious answer is pay them properly, we all know another huge part of the staffing issue is they can earn far more if they're prepared to move overseas. Her experience was a...

    Has a host nation ever played their opening World Cup game in front of a smaller crowd? Understand the desire to break the USA but not sure this plan is going to work

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think the issue here is that a lot of people view the NHS being privatised as meaning a US style system where if you can't afford insurance and to pay for the cost of treatment you're screwed. In reality it means the areas of routine treatment, where it's relatively easy to make profit, is...

    Cricket 2024

    Pisses me off that they've made all of the tiers of the south stand, except the balcony outside the Dollery Suite, corporate now and it's all empty. That entire end of the ground used to be members only. Pretty sure only having a few rows of seats was not what was promised when members were...

    Don't even get me started on this. I got referred for a mental health assessment a while back. Took several months for the assessment to take place. The 20 minute assessment end up taking 90 minutes and resulted in me being made a priority and given emergency contact numbers for places like that...

    In practice how would that work? Fines are only effective if there is some threat of something happening if you don't pay. Are we going to start jailing people who miss a doctors appointment, or cut off peoples access to healthcare? Think before you even consider fining people you have to fix...

    Paying for GP visits is already coming in by the back door anyway. When I go to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription they make sure to tell you every time that if you can't get an appointment with the GP they offer a same day appointment service for £80. Given its near impossible to get a GP...
